Design of Disturbance Observer for Third- Order Interval Plants
Abstract: This paper outlines the development of a disturbance observer (DOB) specifically tailored for third-order interval plants, which are distinguished by uncertainties in their parameters. Utilizing an interval-based modeling approach, this design effectively captures variations in system dynamics, providing robust control solutions for plants with parameter uncertainties. The key focus is creating a disturbance observer capable of real-time estimation and compensation for external disturbances and model uncertainties. The proposed DOB is …

Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Insect Behavior
Abstract: Climate change is a major source of concern across the globe. It is being fueled by an increase in global mean temperature, an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration, and an irregular shift in yearly precipitation. This will have a significant impact on the distribution, abundance, ecology, and behaviour of all species, and specifically insects, which are poikilothermic in nature. Insects will go through multiple life cycles as a result of …
